To Obtain 



n 



all the good results of a natural lilhia water it must be 
used both still and sparkling as cases preseut. 

Some forms of Uric Acidaemia will refuse to yield 
to anj' form of medication, even to still lithia water; 
then think of Sparkling Londonderry. It will 
immediatel}' remove the attendant gastro-duodeuitis, 
stimulate the digestive tract, and a cure is effected. 

Then the good offices of the physician are wisely 
used in the way of prophylaxis. A sparkling lithia 
water that is more palatable than any so-called " table 
water" is an ever-present and ever-pleasant guardian 
against the invasions of Uric Acid if used regularly 
at table. No physician without " wheels " denies the 
great superiority of natural lithia waters over all 
others. No dealer of consequence denies that Lon- 
donderry is the water of waters most prescribed and 
used. What remains to be said ? Simply this: not 
to use and prescribe Londonderry, which is always 
available either carbonated or non-carbonated, is to lose 
to yourself aud your patients the advantage of a valu- 
able "natural compound" which is recognized by your 
brother physician and his patients as invaluable iu 
cases of Gout, Rheumatism, Gravel and Acidity in 
all its manifestations. 
Note. —Londonderry Lithia has never been known to pull teeth or perform any other impossible feats, but we still believe 
it to be the most powerful solvfent before the profession and stand ready to make a demonstration in any clinic free of charge.

Aineiican Medical Association. 



In May, 1846, a convention of medical men was 
held in the city of New York, which declared it ex- 
pedient for the medical profession of the United 
States to institute a National Aledical Association. 
In May, 1847, the convention assembled at Phila- 
delphia, reorganized, and, having adopted a series of 
regulations, became known as *' The American Med- 
ical Association." Its first annual meeting was con- 
vened in Baltimore, May 2, 1848; and since that 
time, with the exception of the years 1861 and 1862, 
annual sessions have been held in large cities in dif- 
ferent parts of the country. 

Delegates may be appointed to the association 
from permanently organized State medical societies, 
and such county and district medical societies as are 
recognized by representation in their respective State 
societies, and from the army, navy and marine hos- 
pital service of the United States. Persons who 
have served in the capacity of delegates become per- 
manent members, and are privileged to attend the

meetings and participate in the affairs of the asso- 
ciation, but without the right of voting. Any- 
reputable physician, who is vouched for as such by 
three of the active or permanent members, can at- 
tend the meetings of the association, and is entitled 
to participate in all its affairs, as in the case of dele- 
gates, except the right to vote. 

Each State, county and district medical society, 
entitled to representation in its State jNIedical So- 
ciety, has the privilege of sending to the association 
one delegate for every ten of its regular resident 
members, and one for every additional fraction or 
more than half that number. 

The medical stafifs of the army and navy are en- 
titled to four delegates each ; the marine hospital ser- 
vice to one. 

Any member of a medical society which is recog- 
nized by representation in its State Society can 
become a member on presentation to the secretary 
of a certificate, signed by the president and 
secretary of his society, accompanied with the an- 
nual fee. He is entitled to all the privileges of mem- 
bership, except that of voting. The journal of the 
association will be sent to him so long as he con- 
tinues to pay his dues.

The sum of five dollars is assessed annually upon 
each delegate to the sessions of the association, as 
well as upon each of the permanent members, 
whether present or not. 

A Judicial Council, consisting of twenty-one mem- 
bers, is entrusted with the decision of all questions 
of an ethical or judicial character. Decisions of this 
Council are final. 

The meetings of this association are held annually, 
and commence on the first Tuesday in May or June. 

The thirty-third volume of the Transactions was 
published in November, 1882. In place of the an- 
nual volume of Transactions a weekly Journal has 
been issued since July, 1883, at a stibscription price 
of five dollars. Address, 86 Fifth Ave., Chicago, 
111. Of the Journal, twenty-four volumes have now

BALTIMORE. 

Baltimore, the chief city of Maryland and seventh 
in point of population in the United States, is situ- 
ated at the head of tidewater and navigation on the 
Patapsco river, about fifteen miles from Chesapeake 
Bay. It is 39 miles from Washington City and 97 
miles from Philadelphia. Two trunk lines of rail- 
way connecting the latter cities pass through Balti- 
more. The city covers an area of 31^ square miles, 
or about 20,000 acres. Its length from east to wTst 
is 4^ miles, while its breadth is 3^ miles from north 
to south. 

The surface of the city is somewhat irregular, yet 
it is not hilly. The street grades are not difficult or 
particularly noticeable. Jones Falls, a small stream 
which rises about twenty miles to the north, flows 
entirely through the city, dividing it into two equal 
parts. Along its banks are massive granite walls, 
while elegant bridges span it at numerous points 
along its course. It runs from northwest to south- 
east and empties into the northwest branch of the 
Patapsco river near the center of the city. The sec- 
tion northeast of Jones Falls is known as Old Town, 
and represents the original corporate limits of the 
city. The south and southeast ends of this section 
are known as Fell's Point and Canton, respectively. 



and here are found extensive wharves, canneries and 
various factories. The southwest section is chiefly 
occupied by foreigners. West of the Falls is Lo- 
cust Point, an irregular strip extending to the south- 
east, with Fort McHenry on its extreme point. 
Pratt street forms the northern limit of the harbor. 
Here is found the wholesale section of the city. On 
every hand large wholesale business houses, ware- 
houses and other evidences of mercantile life and 
activity on a large scale may be seen. Three blocks 
away is Baltimore street, devoted largely to both 
wholesale and retail trade. Further on, and a little 
to the westward, are the great retail establishments, 
or more properly speaking, the shopping districts. 
Beyond these, and further northward, are found the 
fashionable residence sections and promenades. In 
this, the northwestern section of the city, dwell a 
large percentage of Baltimore's most substantial citi- 
zens. 

The houses throughout Baltimore are numbered 
on the decimal plan, each block marking the begin- 
ning of a new hundred. 

YOUR FIRST ARRIVAL IN BALTIMORE. 

The visitor to Baltimore will arrive at Union Sta- 
tion, on North Charles street, or at Camden Station, 
on Camden street, near Howard, if he has come by 
rail. The former is the terminal station of the Penn- 
sylvania Railroad; the latter of the Baltimore and 
Ohio. The trains of the Northern Central, the Phil- 
adelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore, the Baltimore 
and Potomac and the Western Maryland railroads 



o

m 




also run into Union Station. While the main depot 
of the Western Maryland is on Hillen street, it also 
has other stations on Pennsylvania and on Fulton 
avenues. On North avenue is located the station of 
the Baltimore and Lehigh, a narrow-gauge road 
coming in from Long Green, York and points in 
Pennsylvania. The Northern Central has a station 
of its own on Calvert street. 

Travelers reaching the city from the Eastern 
Shore of Maryland, from Philadelphia, Savannah, 
Boston and other points by steamer, land at wharves 
on Light street and adjacent water-front in the heart 
of the city. European steamers land at Locust 
Point, crossing by ferry to foot of Broadway. 

The visitor, whether arriving by boat or rail, will 
experience no inconvenience whatever in reaching 
almost any point in the city by street car. In fact, 
the street car system of Baltimore will compare fav- 
orably, in point of equipment and completeness, with 
that of any other city in the United States, and it af- 
fords rapid and easy access to every section. The 
fare on all the lines is only five cents for adults and 
three cents for children; there are no horse cars 
in the city, the motive power being the cable or the 
trolley. Transfer tickets may be obtained on many 
of the most important lines, thus enabling the pas- 
senger to travel the entire length or breadth of the 
city, in many instances, for only one fare. Those 
who prefer to indulge in the luxury of cab, coupe 
or carriage will always find such vehicles within easy 
call upon the arrival of train or boat. They may 
also be summoned from a central office by telephone 
call from nearest hotel or drug-store. While the 



charges for vehicles are regulated by the Board of 
Police Commissioners, still it is best to agree on 
amount to be paid before beginning a ride. The 
following are the established

HISTORY OF BALTIMORE. 

Baltimore, named in honor of Lord Baltimore, 
the founder of the Maryland Colony, was founded 
early in the eighteenth century, but was not incor- 
porated as a city until 1796, when it had a popula- 
tion of about 15,000. 

Early settlers saw the importance of building a 
city at the head of the Chesapeake Bay, but older 
towns than the straggling settlement of Baltimore 
had claims that could not be entirely ignored. These 

10 



were Joppa, the county-seat, Elk Landing and An- 
napolis. About the middle of 1729 the first petition 
praying for the erection of a town at this point was 
presented to the Provincial Assembly. The bill was 
quickly passed, and the history of Baltimore dates 
from that year. The growth of the new town was 
slow and uncertain. As late as 1750 it contained 
only two hundred houses and had a population of 
about two hundred and fifty souls. It was at about 
this period the mercantile world began to appreciate 
the many advantages of the new town over its rivals. 
A magnificent harbor, with a minimum depth of 
twenty-five feet of water, numerous mill streams, 
rich iron deposits, and ready access to good agricul- 
tural sections, soon enabled Baltimore to forge ahead 
of her rivals. The courthouse and prison w^ere trans- 
ferred from Joppa to Baltimore in 1768. From this 
time forward the growth of the town was steady and 
rapid. In twenty-five years, from 1750 to 1775, the 
population increased from 200 to 7,000. Commerce 
increased proportionately. But there was a tempor- 
ary stoppage in the growth and prosperity of the 
town at this period on account of the Revolutionary 
War. Foreign commerce was suspended, and dur- 
ing the conflict the harbor was entirely deserted by 
foreign ships. This served to stimulate home manu- 
factures and shipping, and soon after the suspension 
of hostilities local merchants engaged in the carry- 
ing trade, and soon Baltimore ships were to be seen 
in every port of the civilized world. This spirit of 
enterprise was noted and appreciated by the world 
of commerce, and resulted in a more rapid develop- 
ment of the place than ever before in its history. In 

11 



1797 Baltimore became a city, with a population of 
about 20,000.* 

Baltimore was the scene of some exciting events 
during the war of 181 2. The city was successfully 
defended against attacks by land and water (see 
" Fort McHenry "), and even succeeded, through the 
medium of blockade-running, in maintaining a large 
proportion of foreign trade. The history of the half 
century following the war of 181 2 was uneventful. 
The city grew steadily and rapidly from that period 
up to the breaking out of the Civil War. Occupy- 
ing a kind of half-way ground, cut off from the 
South and West, Baltimore remained at a standstill 
during that terrible conflict; but when hostilities 
ceased and peace was restored she soon regained her 
former position in the commercial world and en- 
tered upon an era of prosperity which she still enjoys 
and will continue to enjoy for all time to come. 

POPULATION AND COMMERCE. 

The population of Baltimore is nearly 500,000. 
Of this number about one-sixth are colored, while 
one-fifth are of foreign birth. The voting popula- 
tion is about 120,000. Politically, the city is almost 
equally divided. The City Council at present stands : 
Democrats, 10; Republicans, 12. The Mayor, Hon. 
Ferdinand C. Latrobe, is a Democrat. The com- 
merce of Baltimore is extensive and diversified. In 
1894 her exports were as follows: 245,000 cases of 
canned goods, 65,000 hogsheads of tobacco, 120,000 

* An association was formed in 1894 to hold an exposi- 
tion in Baltimore from May 15 to November 15, 1S97, to 
celebrate the 100 years of corporate existence of the city.

BANKS. 

Baltimore has twenty-two national and four State 
banks. The following figures show the condition, 
resources and business of these banks: National 
banks, capital, $13,243,600; surplus and undivided 

13 



profits, $6,013,400; loans and discounts, $32,708,-

Bank clearances in 1894 amounted to $673,443,512. 

MANUFACTURES AND TRADE. 

Baltimore is regarded by shrewd merchants as 
one of the very best markets in the United States in 
which to buy clothing. In fact, the competition be- 
tween this city and the large -Eastern cities is very 
strong. The number of manufacturers of clothing 
here in 1894 was 41, with a capital of $6,000,000. 
Their total output was estimated at $10,000,000. 

The shoe and leather trade amounts to $22,000,- 
000 annually. There are eight hat manufacturers, 
employing 1,200 hands and a capital of $750,000. 
Their output is $2,225,000. The wholesale dry 
goods in 1894 amounted to $3,000,000, while the 
sale of notions for that year reached $10,000,000. 

BUSINESS OF THE POSTOFFICE. 

The total receipts of the Baltimore Postoffice for 
1894 were $814,904, being an increase of $14,000 
over the preceding year. A total of 100,000,000 
pieces of mail matter, weighing 3,837,000 pounds, 
was handled. 

TAXES AND DEBT. 

The total tax rate of Baltimore is $1.87! per one 
hundred on assessed valuation of property. This 

14 



covers State, county and municipal taxes. The 
total debt of the city of Baltimore is $31,135,000. 
Available assets, $13,232,250, leaving a total net in- 
debtedness of about $18,000,000. This debt is be- 
ing largely decreased each year. The death-rate of 
the city is about 2 per cent. 

HOW TO SEE BALTIMORE. 

It is difficult to prescribe or suggest any general 
plan by which all the points and places in Baltimore 
may be seen within a specified time. Of course 
much depends on the tastes of the visitor. In the 
first place time may be saved and trouble avoided by 
carefully studying the map which may be found in 
another part of this book. This enables one to fix 
in the mind the general topography of the city. A 
bird's-eye view which may be obtained from the top 
of the Washington Monument or the Hotel Ren- 
nert will also contribute greatly toward a knowledge 
of the general plan of the city and its environs. 

The Washington Monument is a good starting- 
point if you wish to find places, etc., of special in- 
terest. Walk out Mt. Vernon Place and Monument 
street to Eutaw street, then take the Madison avenue 
cable car to North avenue, where you should get off 
and walk over to Eutaw Place and down across the 
square to Dolphin street. Then return to Mc- 
Mechen street, and travel eastward to Charles street. 
Take the blue-line car and ride south to Calvert and 
Lexington streets. Here you will see Battle Monu- 
ment, the Court Buildings, Equitable Building, Law 
Building, City Hall and Postofifice. Go down to 

15 



Baltimore street via North, and walk thence west- 
ward to the starting-point. 

If you wish to visit the shopping and retail center 
of the city, from the Washington Monument you 
will walk down Charles street to Lexington street, 
traverse the latter westwardly to Eutaw street; walk 
along Eutaw to Fayette street, then follow Fayette 
to the westward two blocks to Westminster church, 
the burial-place of Edgar Allan Poe. Turn up to 
Lexington street, and go eastward through Lexing- 
ton market to Eutaw street, thence north to Monu- 
ment. By this time you have seen the busiest part 
of the city. You have seen stores, shops, markets 
and every variety of retail mercantile life in a busy 
city. 

The Peabody Institute, w4th its library and art col- 
lection, is always interesting to the visitor. After 
you have finished a leisurely inspection here, go over 
to the Johns Hopkins University and take a look at 
its various buildings — the administration building, 
library building, chemical laboratory, biological la- 
boratory. Levering Hall, the gymnasium and the 
physical laboratory. You can secure a guide at the 
registrar's office. From here walk down Howard 
street to Mulberry, thence to the Pratt Free Li- 
brary. Immediately beyond the latter you will find 
the Cathedral. The Y. M. C. A. building is on the 
corner of Saratoga and Charles streets. A stone's 
throw below this is the home of the Maryland His- 
torical Society, containing much of interest. 

If you wish to visit the Woman's College, take the 
Charles street or Maryland avenue cars. If you 
want to see some of Baltimore's shipping, go down 

16 



Charles street to Pratt, thence east to Light street. 
Walk along the wharves as far as Marsh Market 
Space. Step over to Baltimore street and take the 
Broadway cable car to its terminus, where you will 
find many large industries, such as canning fac- 
tories, stove foundries, fruit exchanges, pottery 
works, dry docks, etc. You can take the ferry at the 
foot of Broadway over to Locust Point, where you 
will find the large grain elevators of the Baltimore 
and Ohio Railroad. Nearby are many foreign 
steamers, the emigrant offices and the Columbian 
Iron Works. 

From the original starting-point, if you wish to 
visit Druid Hill Park, take the Madison avenue 
cable car. You can spend several hours very pleas- 
antly strolling about the park, visiting the ]\Iaryland 
House, zoological collection, dromedaries, lakes, 
sea lions, ending up at the Druid Hill avenue en- 
trance. A block away from this entrance you will 
find the Traction power-house. Then take the Gil- 
mor street cable car to Patterson Park. En route 
you will pass Harlem Park, Franklin Square and 
the City Springs. You can spend an afternoon 
quite profitably in a visit to the Johns Hopkins Hos- 
pital, which is reached via the Aisquith or Centre 
street cars. This trip should be made on Wednes- 
day afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock, when the institu- 
tion is regularly open to visitors. Walters Art Gal- 
lery should be visited on the same afternoon in Feb- 
ruary and March, and on Wednesdays and Satur- 
days in April; also on February 226. and on Easter 
Sunday. A small admission fee is charged at Wal- 
ters. 

17 



If you wish to see something of Baltimore's sub- 
urbs, take the electric car at the Druid Hill Park ter- 
minus of the Traction line to Pikesville, where you 
will find the old Arsenal, used now as a Confederate 
Soldiers' Home. Or, you may take a Northern 
Central train at the Calvert station and go out to 
Woodberry, which is a very busy little town. Or, 
you can take a train at the Baltimore and Lehigh 
station on North avenue and ride out to Loch 
Raven, one of the sources of the city's water supply. 

Trains leave the Northern Central Railroad on 
Calvert street every half hour for Sparrow's Point, 
where the extensive plant of the Pennsylvania Steel 
Co. is located. This is an interesting place to visit. 
If you wish to get a fine view of the harbor and 
shipping, visit Federal Hill, taking the Calvert street 
car south to Montgomery street. The same car will 
also carry you to Ferry Bar, a favorite water resort 
of the city. An electric car runs from the latter 
place to Curtis Bay, a thriving suburb, at which a 
large sugar refinery and several extensive foundries 
and machine shops are located. 

FORT MCHENRY. 

The most interesting place in Baltimore for the 
student of history is Fort McHenry, which may be 
reached by taking the Traction cable car at the cor- 
ner of Paca and Fayette streets. You take the 
Howard street cars to this starting-point. 

On September 12, 1894, the looth anniversary 
was celebrated of the transfer of the defenses erected 
on Whetstone Point, now Fort AlcHenry, by the 

18 



State of Maryland to the United States government. 
The celebration took place at Fort McHenry, under 
the auspices of the Society of the War of 1812. 

Fort McHenry 's chief claim to fame is that it suc- 
cessfully defended Baltimore from the attack of the 
British fieet in 18 14, and gave to Francis Scott Key 
the inspiration for the anthem, " The Star-Spangled 
Banner." 

Upon the commencement of the Revolution, the 
importance of Whetstone Point for the defense of 
Baltimore was appreciated, and in 1775 preparations 
were made to fortify it. The fortifications were be- 
gun in 1776, and as the Revolution progressed they 
were strengthened. Until 1793 the fortifications re- 
mained exclusively under the control of the State of 
Maryland, but in consequence of the apprehension 
entertained at the time of another conflict with Great 
Britain, they were put at the disposal of the Federal 
government by the Maryland legislature. A public 
subscription was taken up in Baltimore in 1799, and 
with the money thus raised and $20,000 appropri- 
ated by the government, a fort of brickwork was 
erected, and was subsequently called Fort McHenry, 
in honor of James McHenry, of Baltimore, who was 
the first Secretary of War under President Washing- 
ton. 

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. 

GOVERNMENT. — The municipal government 
of Baltimore is vested in a Mayor, elected every two 
years, and a City Council of two Branches, chosen 
from the wards into which the city is divided. The 
First Branch consists of one member from each 

19 










ill 




CITY HALL. 



ward, elected annually; the Second, of one member 
from every two wards in the city, elected every two 
years. A three-fourths vote of the council is neces- 
sary to override the mayor's veto. 

The important departments of the city govern- 
ment are as follows: A Tax Department, under a 
City Collector, together with an Appeal Tax Court, 
consisting of three judges and subordinates, to as- 
sess all unreturned property and to make alterations 
in assessments on appeal or as they may see fit; a 
Register's ofBce, which has charge of the moneys 
and securities of the corporation; and a Comptrol- 
ler's ofhce. The Finance Department, consisting 
of the mayor and two citizens — the latter being ap- 
pointed by the mayor and serving without salary — 
have the care of the public debt of the city, its invest- 
ments and finances in general. All municipal liti- 
gation is in charge of a Law Department, consisting 
of a City Counselor, a City Solicitor, an Examiner 
of Titles, and a City Attorney. A City Commis- 
sioner, aided by several assistants, looks after the 
paving of streets and the construction and repair of 
sewers. There are also an Inspector of Public 
Buildings, Commissioners for Opening Streets, 
Street Cleaning Commissioners, Harbor Board, 
Park Commissioners, Water Department, School 
Board, and Board of Fire Commissioners. 

CITY HALL. — This is a beautiful building, situ- 
ated almost in the center of the city, occupying the 
entire block surrounded by Fayette, North, Lexing- 
ton and Holliday streets. It was completed in Oc- 
tober, 1875, ^t a total cost of $2,375,000. The 
building consists of a center structure four stories 

21 



high, with two lateral wings of three stories. The 
distance from the ground to the top ot the dome i.-^ 
227 feet. The town bell, weighing two and a halt 
tons, hangs above a projecting balcony near the top. 
The various city or municipal offices are gathered 
together in the City Hall. The City Library, con- 
taining several thousand volumes of municipal and 
public documents, and also the elegantly furnished 
chambers of the two Branches of the City Council, 
are situated on the second floor. There are en- 
trances on all four sides of the building. 

FIRE DEPARTMENT.— Baltimore has had a 
paid fire department since 1858. It is under the 
control of a Board of Fire Commissioners, consist- 
ing of three citizens, with the Mayor, w^ho is an ex 
officio member. The working force of the depart- 
ment is divided into two groups: one consists of 
men always on duty; the other of men who pursue 
other occupations during the daytime, but who are 
required to be at the engine house during the night. 
If a fireman loses his life in the discharge of his duty 
his family receive $1,000; $500 from the city and an 
equal amount from an insurance fund effected and 
maintained by the Board of Commissioners. The 
equipment of the fire department is as follows: One 
fire-boat, 15 engine companies, 9 hook and ladder 
companies and 7 chemical engines. The force of 
men employed consists of 223 permanent members 
and 51 call members. A salvage corps, supported 
by the board of underwriters, cooperates most heart- 
ily with the Fire Department in all emergencies. 

POLICE DEPARTMENT.— The present most 
efficient police system was inaugurated in i860, 

22 



when the control of the force was taken out of the 
hands of municipal officials and vested in a Board 
of Police Commissioners, consisting of '' three sober 
and discreet persons," who are appointed by the 
State Legislature, one at each biennial session, for a 
period of six years. They each give a bond of $io,- 
ooo, and receive a salary of $2,500 per annum. The 
force proper consists of a marshal, a deputy marshal, 
8 captains, 6 lieutenants, 10 detectives, 84 sergeants 
and 640 patrolmen. The city is divided into seven 
districts for police purposes. Each district has its 
own station house, a strong building of brick, with 
stone trimmings. Each of these buildings is in 
charge of a captain and is always open to visitors. 
A most excellent police alarm and patrol system is 
an important auxiliary to the police department. 
The outlying and sparsely settled portions of the 
city are patrolled by mounted policemen. 

WATER SUPPLY.— Baltimore's water supply is 
calculated to be sufficient to supply a population of 
a million or more. It comes from the Gunpowder 
river and Jones Falls. There are six reservoirs, 
while more than 225 miles of pipes run beneath the 
city's streets and supply about 50,000 houses, 1500 
hydrants and 15,000 baths. The entire system cost 
about $10,000,000. Their daily capacity is 165 mil- 
lions of gallons. These reservoirs are all situated 
within seven miles of the city. Loch Raven, the 
largest, is four and three-quarter miles long and 
from one hundred to eight hundred feet in width. 
The water from here is carried through a conduit 
twelve-foot tunnel to Lake Montebello, a receiving 
reservoir of 500 millions of gallons capacity. Lake

Clifton is also a large storage reservoir, situated up- 
on a part of the old Johns Hopkins estate just be- 
yond the old city limits. Six forty-inch distributing 
mains bring the water to the distributing mains in 
the city. 

HEALTH DEPARTMENT.— The Commis- 
sioner of Health is appointed annually by the Mayor 
and his appointment is confirmed by the City Coun- 
cil. The sanitary affairs of the city are in his hands. 
He superintends the cleaning of sewers, the abate- 
ment of nuisances and the work of vaccine physi- 
cians, and has much to do with the quarantine regu- 
lations of the city. 

Upon extraordinary occasions the power of the 
Health Department is almost unlimited. A depart- 
ment of Vital Statistics maintains a mortuary regis- 
ter and issues weekly reports. The City Morgue is 
a neat two-story building, located at the foot of 
President street, and fitted with all modern conve- 
niences. 

MEDICAL COLLEGES. 

In 1809 the first medical college in Baltimore was 
established. In that year the College of Medicine 
of Maryland was chartered by the Legislature of 
Maryland and began teaching here. It was made 
one of the branches of the University of Maryland 
four years later. 

The Washington Medical College was organized 
in 1833. It was first located in a building on Hol- 
liday street, opposite the old City Hall. It after- 
wards erected a building of its own on Broadway, 
which is now occupied by the Church Home. Later 

25 



it removed to the corner of Lombard and Hanover 
streets. Bad management led to the closing up of 
the institution in 185 1. The college was reorgan- 
ized and started anew in 1867 in a building on the 
northeast corner of Saratoga and Calvert streets. 
Differences in the faculty of the Washington Medi- 
cal College in 1872 led to a split, and the dissenting 
wing organized the College of Physicians and Sur~ 
geons. The first course of lectures in the new 
school was attended by only twenty-five students, 
but it grew rapidly, and in 1877 absorbed the older 
institution. The College of Physicians and Sur- 
geons now occupies a handsome modern building 
located at the corner of Saratoga and Calvert streets. 
The faculty consists of eleven professors and four- 
teen assistants. The college has exclusive control 
over the Baltimore City Hospital, whose new build- 
ing adjoins its own, and over the Maryland Lying-in 
Asylum. It also has the privilege of Bay View 
Asylum, Hebrew Hospital, Children's Nursery and 
Hospital, and several other institutions. 

The Baltimore Medical College is located on 
Howard street above Madison. It was organized in 

1 88 1, and has entire control of the Maryland Gen- 
eral Hospital on Linden avenue, including its Ly- 
ing-in and its Eye and Ear departments. It has a 
faculty of eleven professors and nine assistants. 

The Baltimore University was founded in 1884 by 
former members of the Baltimore Medical College. 
It is a school of medicine, with dental, veterinary 
and law departments. 

The Woman's Medical College was organized in 

1882. The Hospital of the Good Samaritan is un- 

26 



der its control. Its faculty is made up of twelve 
professors and many assistants. The establishment 
of this school has had much to do with the admis- 
sion of female students to the Johns Hopkins Uni- 
versity Aledical School. 

DENTAL COLLEGE. 

The Baltimore Dental College was the first den- 
tal college organized in the world. It was duly 
chartered by the State Legislature, and has 
enjoyed unusual prosperity from its beginning up 
to the present. It was first established on Sharp 
street, between Lombard and Pratt. After several 
removals it finally settled on the corner of Eutaw 
and Franklin streets, where it is at present located. 
It is thoroughly equipped for its purposes. 

COLLEGE OF PHARMACY. 

The Maryland College of Pharmacy, located on 
the corner of Fayette and Aisquith streets, was es- 
tablished in 1840, and is one of the oldest institu- 
tions of its kind in America. Its graduates are 
found in every State and Territory of the United 
States, and its diploma is universally recognized as 
a guaranty of the thorough qualification of its 
holder. 

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN GENERAL 

Baltimore has long held a high rank as an educa- 
tional center. Free instruction in primary, secon- 
dary, collegiate and normal studies is provided by a 

27 



graded system of public schools. In this city was 
established the first manual training school to be 
maintained as a part of a public school system. 

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.— As early as 1827 an or- 
dinance was adopted by the City Council creating 
a Board of Commissioners of Public Schools in Bal- 
timore, and two years later the first school was 
opened, and the system has steadily developed and 
expanded. 

There are primary, grammar and high schools or 
colleges. Separate schools are provided males and 
females and for colored children. There are about 
60,000 children and 1400 teachers. The school 
buildings are handsome, substantial structures. The 
schools are entirely free, supplies and text-books 
being provided free of expense. The entire system 
is in the hands of a Board of School Commissioners 
who serve without salary. The cost of maintaining 
the schools is about one million dollars a year. 

The Baltimore ]\Ianual Training School is a part 
of the public school system, and was the first of its 
kind established in the United States. It has been 
eminently successful, and its methods have been 
copied by similar institutions throughout this coun- 
try. It is located on Courtland street, near Sara- 
toga, and is well worth a visit. A similar school 
for colored people has been recently established on 
Fremont street, near Lombard. 

The State Normal School is located on the corner 
of Lafayette and Carrollton avenues. It is designed 
for the training of teachers of both sexes. The in- 
stitution is splendidly equipped for its work, and its 
graduates are well qualified as teachers. Each 

28 



county in the State is entitled to send two students 
for each representative in the General Assembly. 
Other pupils, to a limited number, are received on 
payment of tuition fees. 

The University of Maryland is situated at the cor- 
ner of Greene and Lombard streets. It was founded 
as a medical school in 1807, being the fifth in point 
of age in the United States. It has had many ups 
and downs during its existence of almost a century. 
Its founders purchased a library out of their private 
funds. The late Civil War interfered seriously in 
the work of the institution. But it has always been 
a progressive school. It was the first to lengthen 
its course to six months and to make dissection 
compulsory. It was also among the first to estab- 
lish a special department for diseases of women and 
children. In 1890 it established a training school 
for nurses. As early as 1812 it created faculties of 
divinity, law^, and arts and sciences, but of these law 
only remains. This department now occupies a 
building of its own on Lombard street adjoining the 
medical college. It has seven professors and about 
one hundred students. A dental school was founded 
in 1882, and now occupies a building adjacent to the 
university on Greene street, and has about one hun- 
dred and fifty students annually. 

JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY. 

This institution is located in the very heart of the 
city on a block bounded by Howard, Eutaw, Monu- 
ment and Little Ross streets. The Madison, Mary- 
land and Linden avenues cars pass it, while the 

29 



Druid Hill and Edmondson avenues lines are only 
a block away. The present location of the univer- 
sity was at first intended to be temporary, the inten- 
tion of the founder being to have it located ulti- 
mately at Clifton, his suburban country seat. The 
original buildings have been added to from time to 
time until they now constitute one of the most thor- 
oughly equipped institutions of its kind in the world. 
It has no dormitories; its non-resident students live 
in boarding houses in the vicinity. 

FOUNDATION.— The Johns Hopkins Univer- 
sity owes its foundation to the liberality of the Balti- 
more merchant whose name it bears. He died at 
the advanced age of eighty, in 1873, leaving a large 
fortune, which he gave in nearly two equal amounts 
for the endowment of a university and a hospital. 
He directed that when the latter was completed it 
should become a part of the medical school of the 
university. The university was incorporated under 
the general laws of the State of Maryland in 1867. 
Three years later the trustees met and organized, 
but they did not meet again until after the death of 
Mr. Hopkins. The work of instruction was begun 
in the autumn of 1876. 

BUILDINGS.— These are as follows: A central 
building, in which are the offices of administration 
and the class-rooms for ancient languages. Directly 
west is a building containing the general library of 
the university and a large lecture-room for chemis- 
try. Beyond this, to the west, is the chemical labor- 
atory, and still further in that direction is the bio- 
logical laboratory, a three-story building. North of 
the main group of buildings stand the gymnasium 

31 



and Levering Hall. The latter was erected for the 
Y. M. C. A, of the university. Still further north is 
the physical laboratory, in which are found the de- 
partments of physics, mathematics, electrical engi- 
neering and astronomy. Several dwelling-houses in 
the neighborhood are also used for class-rooms and 
for the laboratories in mineralogy and geology. 
McCoy Hall, a new building for the library and for 
the class-rooms for the literary departments, is on 
the corner of Garden and Monument streets, extend- 
ing in a southerly direction to Little Ross street. 
The library of the university contains upw^ards of 
60,000 volumes. 

CHEMICAL LABORATORY.— This is one of 
the most thoroughly equipped laboratories in the 
world. It was opened in 1877, but it had to be en- 
larged six years later to accommodate the large 
number of students who sought to avail themselves 
of its privileges and instruction. 

BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY.— The Biolog- 
ical Laboratory of the Johns Hopkins University 
enjoys a world-wide reputation. It has no equal in 
America. Its equipment is the very best that can 
be obtained, while its teachers are masters in their 
work. Students from every section of the LTnited 
States are constantly in attendance here. 

PHYSICAL LABORATORY.— The building 
occupied by this laboratory is the most imposing of 
all the structures devoted to the sciences. Its 
equipment is superb. Levering Hall, the home of 
the Y. M. C. A. of the university, and McCoy Hall 
are both imposing structures and most admirably 
arranged for the purposes to which they are de- 

32 



voted. The various departments are largely at- 
tended by students from all over the United States. 
There are about 70 teachers on the academic staff ot 
the university, while quite a number of advanced 
students conduct classes in various departments. 
The baccalaureate, the doctor of philosophy and 
bachelor of arts degrees are conferred here. 

WOMAN'S COLLEGE. 

The buildings of the Woman's College are lo- 
cated on St. Paul street in the northern part of the 
city. They consist of Goucher Hall, containing 
over forty class-rooms, laboratories and offices of 
administration; an Instruction Hall, and Bennett 
Hall, the latter containing the gymnasium, baths and 
swimming pool. The College Home is a large brick 
building, a block east, at the corner of Fourth and 
Calvert streets, while a similar or second " home " 
building is located a block to the westward on the 
corner of Fourth and Charles streets. The Woman's 
College was projected by the Baltimore Conference 
of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1884, and was 
incorporated under the general law of Maryland in 
the following year. Its doors were opened to stu- 
dents in the latter part of 1888. Its charter was 
amended and its powers enlarged in 1890. In this 
year the Girls' Latin School was organized as a pre- 
paratory department of the college, with its own 
principal, faculty and building. The college has a 
large patronage; its students coming from all sec- 
tions. Goucher Hall, a massive granite structure, 
and the ground on which it stands, was the gift of 
the Rev. John F. Goucher.

Bennett Memorial Hall is the college gymnasium. 
It is of granite, two stories high, and was the gift of 
Mr. B. F. Bennett, of Baltimore, who dedicated it to 
the memory of his wife. It is thoroughly fitted up 
with all the requisites of a modern gymnasium, and 
is in charge of a full professor, a regularly educated 
physician. The Swedish system of training is in 
vogue here. 

The College Homes were planned with careful at- 
tention to the wants of the students who were to oc- 
cupy them. They are duplicates of each other, four 
stories high, and contain rooms for sixty-five stu- 
dents. The buildings are wholly devoted to pur- 
poses of residence. They have elevators, sanitary 
plumbing, thorough ventilation, splendid fire es- 
capes and all other modern appliances and equip- 
ment. The kitchen and dining-room are on the top 
floors, thus securing immunity from disagreeable 
odors. Religious services are held in the chapel of 
Che First M. E. Church, which is connected with 
Goucher Hall by a bridge. 

SAINT MARY'S SEMINARY OF ST. SULPICE. 

-This is the oldest Catholic theological seminary in 
the United States. It is located on the square 
bounded by Paca and St. Mary's streets and Druid 
Hill and Pennsylvania avenues. The buildings are 
large and imposing and are surrounded by spacious 
grounds, the whole surrounded by a high fence. 
The seminary was founded in 1791 by a little band 
of Sulpicians, headed by Father Nagot, who came 
over from Paris. At first it was devoted entirely to 
theological training, but later a second school or 

35 



academy, known as St. Mary's College, was opened 
for secular education. This ^institution grew rapidly 
in numbers, and its reputation spread abroad. The 
power of conferring degrees was granted it in 1805. 
For many years the college flourished and exercised 
a most important educational influence upon the 
community. The general college department was 
closed in 1852, the Sulpicians never having forgot- 
ten the prime purpose of their institution. In 1877 
the first part of the present building was occupied. 
Additions have been made from time to time, until 
now the whole presents an imposing appearance. 
The Third Plenary Council held its sessions here in 
1884. The Centennial celebration of the founding 
of the institution took place in 1891. 

MCDONOGH FARM SCHOOL. 

This school is a farm of 835 acres, located on the 
Western Maryland Railroad beyond the city limits. 
It owes its existence to the liberality of John Mc- 
Donogh, a wealthy merchant of Baltimore, who 
left a liberal endowment for its establishment and 
support. It accommodates about 100 boys, and is, 
in a great measure, self-sustaining. 

HOSPITALS AND HOMES. 

Generous provision is made for the care of the 
sick, needy and infirm of this city. A sum approxi- 
mating $400,000 is annually appropriated for this 
purpose. 

THE JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL.— While 
this is not the largest, it is perhaps the finest hospi-

tal, in construction and equipment, in the world. It 
is easily reached by the Centre street or Aisquith 
street cars. Wednesday is visitors' day and the hours 
from 3 to 5 P. M. Guides are provided and a thor- 
ough inspection of the institution may be made. The 
hospital and grounds cover four entire blocks, con- 
taining some fourteen acres, with a frontage of 709 
feet. The hospital was founded by the late Johns 
Hopkins, who left half of his large fortune in the 
hands of trustees for this purpose. Ground was 
broken in 1877, and the hospital was formally 
opened in 1889. An amphitheatre, a dispensary and 
a pathological laboratory are located on the north- 
east portion of the ground, near the land owned by 
the Johns Hopkins University, upon which the 
buildings of the medical department are to be 
erected. The foundations of the principal buildings 
are of a solid concrete base. The floors of all wards 
and rooms for the sick are of Georgia pine, thor- 
oughly seasoned and carefully selected. The hos- 
pital is heated by the " hot water system," which is 
quite unique. Special attention was also given to 
the matter of ventilation. The object aimed at in 
construction was to supply to each individual occu- 
pying the ward at least one cubic foot of fresh air 
per second and of such a temperature as to give rise 
to no feeling of discomfort. 

CITY HOSPITAL.— This hospital, which is un- 
der the medical care of the College of Physicians and 
Surgeons, occupies a well-equipped building on 
Calvert and Saratoga streets. It contains about 300 
beds, 75 of which are sustained by the city. It has 
a separate building for the use of colored patients. 

38 



The other hospitals are The Maryland University 
Hospital, on Lombard and Greene streets, which is 
under the care of the University of Maryland School 
of Medicine; The Maryland General Hospital, 809 
Linden avenue, under care of the Baltimore Medi- 
cal College; The Maryland Homoeopathic Hospital, 
320 N. Paca street; and St. Joseph's Hospital, corner 
Caroline and Hoffman streets. 

HOMES. — A fine building, located on the corner 
of Broadway and Hampstead streets, is occupied by 
the Church Home and Infirmary, which provides a 
home for sick and otherwise distressed persons be- 
longing to the Protestant Episcopal Church and 
others. A similar institution is the Home of the 
Aged of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at the cor- 
ner of Fulton avenue and Franklin street. At the 
corner of Monument and Ann streets is the Hebrew 
Hospital and Asylum, which offers medical and sur- 
gical treatment to needy sick persons of all creeds 
and a permanent home for the infirm and destitute. 
The German Home for Aged Persons, comer Balti- 
more and Payson streets, offers a permanent home 
to aged men and women of Baltimore, without re- 
gard to nationality or religion. Upon payment of a 
small fee, varying according to age and residence, 
persons are received at the Aged Men's Home, cor- 
ner of Lexington and Calhoun streets, and at the 
Aged Women's Home, adjoining. 

ORPHAN ASYLUMS. 

BALTIMORE ORPHAN ASYLUM.— This is 
one of the oldest charitable institutions in the city, 

39 



having been incorporated in 1778. It received its 
present name in 1846. Location, Strieker, near 
Lexington street. It is intended for the mainte- 
nance and education of orphan children of both 
sexes and all denominations. The children, to be 
admitted, must have lost one or both parents, and 
must be 5 years old. Males remain in the institu- 
tion until they are 21 years, while females are let 
out at 18. 

GERMAN ORPHAN ASYLUM.— This is lo- 
cated on Aisquith, near Orleans street. It is one of 
the most thorough and practical institutions in this 
country. It receives boys and girls regardless of 
nationality or denomination. It is in a sense a 
home. The children are sent to the public schools. 
At age of 14 boys are bound out to learn trades. 
Girls are taught sewing, cooking, housework and 
laundry work. At about 14 years of age homes or 
situations as domestics are found for them. 

THE THOMAS WILSON SANITARIUM was 
founded by the philanthropist whose name it bears. 
It is located just outside the city on the Western 
Maryland Railroad, and is a summer retreat for the 
sick children of the poor. Colored as well as white 
children are provided for. 

Other similar institutions are : St. Vincent's Infant 
Asylum, corner Townsend and Division streets, un- 
der charge of the Sisters of Charity; The Hebrew 
Orphan Asylum, on Calverton Heights; The Home 
of the Friendless, corner Druid Hill avenue and 
Townsend street ; The Nursery and Child's Hospital, 
on Franklin and Schroeder streets; The Garrett 
Sanitarium for Children, at Mt. Airy, and The 

40 



Samuel Ready Asylum for Female Orphans, on 
North and Harford avenues. 

INSANE ASYLUMS. 

THE MARYLAND HOSPITAL FOR IN- 
SANE. — This institution, which is sustained by 
State, city and county appropriations, is located at 
Spring Grove, near Catonsville, a suburb of the city. 
The hospital buildings are surrounded by 135 acres 
of ground, and are among the most complete in the 
world. It is controlled by a board of managers ap- 
pointed by the Governor. The present site was pur- 
chased and the buildings erected in 1852. 

MOUNT HOPE RETREAT.— This also is situ- 
ated quite a distance from the business part of the 
city. It is under the management of the Sisters of 
Charity and gets some support from the county and 
city of Baltimore. 

THE SHEPPARD ASYLUM.— This is one of 
the most notable institutions in America. It was 
founded by the late Moses Sheppard, of Baltimore, 
whose bequest has reached $700,000. It is doing a 
great and noble work. 

RELIEF ASSOCIATIONS. 

THE CHARITY ORGANIZATION SOCI- 
ETY is a general directory of the charities of the 
city, looking to the organization of charity and not 
for its distribution. Its central office is in the Wil- 
son building, corner Charles and Saratoga streets. 
The city is divided into seven districts, each with its 
society headquarters and trained agents. The so- 

41 



ciety has been a powerful factor in social relief and 
reclamation since its organization in 1881. The in- 
troduction of the Provident Savings Bank, with a 
system of stamp deposits, is one of the works of the 
society. 

THE BALTIMORE ASSOCIATION FOR 
THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONDITION 
OF THE POOR was organized in 1849 ^^^ the pur- 
pose of giving assistance to the worthy poor of the 
city. Such assistance is rendered only after a care- 
ful investigation in each case. It is supported maim 
ly by the dues of its two thousand members. The 
receipts from the Walters Art Gallery also go into 
its treasury. 

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, the Hebrew 
Benevolent Society, the Thomas Wilson Fuel-Sav- 
ing Society, and the Golden Book Fund of the 
Charity Organization Society are smaller, but are 
engaged in a similar work. 

LIBRARIES. 

ENOCH PRATT FREE LIBRARY.— This, one 
of the largest institutions of its kind in America, 
owes its existence to the generosity of Enoch Pratt, 
who was born in Massachusetts, but became a mer- 
chant in Baltimore in 183 1. He gave upwards of a 
million dollars to be used for the purpose. The 
city created an annuity of $50,000, in perpetuity, for 
the support of the library and its branches. The 
Central Building is on Mulberry street, near Cathe- 
dral. There are five branch libraries, located as fol- 
lows: Corner Fremont and Pitcher streets, corner 

42 



Hollins and Calhoun streets, corner Light and Git- 
tings streets, corner Canton and O'Donnell streets, 
and corner Broadway and Miller street. The main 
or central building holds about 200,000 volumes, 
while each branch library accommodates 20,000 
volumes. The central library is open daily from 9 
A. M. to 10 P. M., except Sunday; the branches 
from 2 P. M. to 9 P. M. 

The New Mercantile Library, on Charles near 
Saratoga streets, is a private library and reading- 
room. 

The library of the Baltimore Bar, which is sup- 
ported by the lawyers of the city, is in the court- 
house. 

The Library of Medical and Surgical Works is 
the property of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty 
of Maryland. 

The Library of the Odd Fellows Association con- 
tains about 20,000 volumes. 

The Methodist Historical Society owns a large 
and valuable collection of books, which are kept in 
the Woman's College. 

ART AND SCIENCE. 

PEABODY INSTITUTE.— This magnificent in- 
stitution was endowed by George Peabody, who at 
the time was a resident of London. He was born 
at South Danvers, Mass., in 1795, of poor parents. 
He became a merchant in Baltimore in 18 14, where 
he laid the foundation of a large fortune. Later he 
became a banker in London. During his residence 
in Baltimore he formed a strong friendship for the 

44 



people of the city, and this feeling prompted him to 
the establishment of the great institution which 
bears his name. He first placed $300,000 at the dis- 
posal of twenty-five gentlemen of Baltimore, which 
sum was to secure a site and erect a building. Sub- 
sequently he increased this sum to a million and a 
quarter dollars. The institution was to include a 
school of lectures, an academy of music and a sys- 
tem of premiums to the high schools of the city. A 
site was selected on Mt. Vernon Place, near the 
Washington monument, and the corner-stone was 
laid in 1859. ^^ ^^s completed in 1861, but the 
library was not formally opened to the public until 
1866, at which time Mr. Peabody, the founder, was 
present. From this time on the institute was in full 
operation. The library was open to the public from 
9 to 4 daily, except Sunday. Courses of lectures 
were delivered during the fall and winter, public 
musical concerts were given, and money and gold 
medals were annually conferred upon the most dis- 
tinguished graduates of the public schools. At 
this time the library contained more than 20,000 
volumes. In 1890 this number had been increased, 
mainly through the efforts of Dr. N. H. Morison, 
the provost, to 100,000 volumes. Additions have 
been made to the building from time to time, until 
now it presents quite an imposing appearance. The 
library attracts students and scholars from every- 
where on account of its large collection of rare 
books, covering almost every branch of knowledge. 
About 12,000 volumes are devoted to history, 1 1,000 
to sciences, 5,000 to drama, essays and criticism, and 
perhaps 10,000 volumes to biography. The student 

45 



of fine arts, archaeology, music, Greek and Latin 
classics, voyages, travels, etc., will find here enough 
to meet all requirements. Everything is h*ee; the 
rich and the poor are alike welcome. 

PEABODY ART GALLERY.— This is situated 
above the library. It contains an extensive collec- 
tion of antique cases, donated by the late John W. 
Garrett. Here are also reproductions of Renais- 
sance and modern art, also from Mr. Garrett. The 
Rinehart corridor contains the original casts of por- 
trait busts from the Roman studio of the distin- 
guished American sculptor, which were brought 
from Rome in 1874 and later deposited in the Insti- 
tute by his executors. Nearby is a case containing 
Rinehart's professional instruments. In the Clytie 
room may be seen a series of marbles and bronzes, 
the legacy of John W. McCoy. In the same room 
are Ezekiel's Head of Christ and a finely executed 
bust of Mr. McCoy. The picture gallery, contain- 
ing some of the best specimens of American art, is 
almost entirely the gift of Mr. McCoy. 

PEABODY CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC. 
— This occupies a large part of the west wing, above 
the lecture hall. It is presided over by a musical 
director, assisted by six professors. Only advanced 
pupils, who have passed most critical examinations, 
are admitted here. 

WALTERS ART GALLERY.— This is con- 
tained in a plain, old-fashioned house situated oppo- 
site the Washington monument, at No. 5 Mount 
Vernon Place. It is undoubtedly the finest private 
art collection in this country. In the parlors are 
bronzes, cases of old silver and groups of Royal 

47 



Worcester, Dresden and Sevres. There is a small 
chamber fitted up in blue with furniture and hang- 
ings of the time of Marie Antoinette. Another is 
furnished in old Dutch style, while an upper room 
contains bronzes and water colors by Barye. In 
the dining-room rare French vases and bronzes are 
to be seen. 

In the first gallery at the rear of the house are 
cases of porcelains, the walls are hung with beauti- 
ful tapestries, while vases fashioned more than 500 
years ago ,greet the eye. Japanese and Chinese art 
are both largely represented here. In the Oriental 
department there are some 200 bronzes, 200 objects 
in gold, silver, iron and copper, 150 swords, 300 
sword guards and 400 other sword appliances, 500 
ivory carvings and 500 lacquers, illustrating the his- 
tory of lacquer work for more than 700 years. Al- 
together this department contains upwards of 4,000 
objects. Every object is the result of the ripe expe- 
rience of the collector. 

Oil Paintings. — In making his collections Mr. 
Walters determined to illustrate the art history 
of each century by examples of the work of men 
whose influence had been most strongly felt. And 
as a result there is no other collection of pictures in 
America that equals his in importance and interest. 
All the great masters are here represented. No 
school of art has been overlooked ; they are all here, 
French, Spanish, Belgian, German, English, Ameri- 
can — all. The gallery is open to the public at a 
nominal fee, the proceeds of which are devoted to 
the Baltimore Association for the Improvement of 
the Condition of the Poor.

MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY.— 
This society occupies a substantial building, known 
as the Athenaeum Building, located on Saratoga 
street, near Charles. It was organized in 1844 for 
the purpose of arranging and collecting material re- 
lating to the early history of the State of Maryland. 
The society has done a great work in the way of col- 
lecting manuscripts, documents, volumes and pam- 
phlets of a historical value and interest and also 
works of art bearing on the same subject. The 
building is reached from a side entrance from Sara- 
toga street, and is open from 10 A. M. to 4 P. M. 
The first floor contains a library, reading-room and 
a substantial vault for storing the manuscript rec- 
ords of the society. The second floor contains three 
connecting galleries, which are said to hold the 
finest collection of paintings and curios in this coun- 
try. The central room, which is the largest, con- 
tains about 200 paintings, some of which are quite 
large. Among the paintings are three Murillos, two 
of Rubens, a Rembrandt, landscapes by Vander- 
velde, Moncheron, Snoyres, and others. There are 
several marine views and many portraits by well- 
known artists. Some fine examples of statuary are 
also found here. The reception 100m contains a 
large and interesting collection of armor, busts, 
models, curious stones, etc. 

MARYLAND ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.— 
This body was organized in 1863 and existed for 
many years as an independent organization, but a 
few years ago it turned over to the Johns Hopkins 
University its extensive collection of the fauna and 
flora of the State, Indian relics, etc. Recently Mr. 

49 



Enoch Pratt purchased and presented to the society 
the old Maryland Club building, corner Franklin 
and Cathedral streets. This liberal gift infused new 
life into the organization, which has been reorgan- 
ized and is prospering. 

MARYLAND INSTITUTE.— This organiza^ 
tion occupies a large granite building on the corner 
of Baltimore and Harrison streets. It was organ- 
ized in 1818 as a Mechanics Institute, but it has 
gradually grown, until now it has a library, night 
school and a school of design. The institution is 
largely sustained by its own membership, but it also 
receives an annual appropriation from the city. In 
return for the latter each councilman is entitled to 
appoint a holder of a free scholarship. 

CHARCOAL CLUB.— This club was organized 
by local artists and outsiders interested in art. It is 
Bohemian in character. Its headquarters are over 
the Provident Savings Bank, corner of Howard and 
PYanklin streets. It is a truly unique organization, 
and serves to bring together and harmonize several 
social elements that could hardly be brought to- 
gether through any other agency. A day school is 
in active operation, while night classes meet three 
times a week. There is also a special or extra class 
on Saturdays. 

DECORATIVE ART SOCIETY.— The rooms 
of this organization are at 315 North Charles street, 
where an interesting display of artistic handiwork 
can always be seen. Two classes are maintained, 
one in art needlework, another in drawing and paint- 
ing. The price for tuition is low, and there are a 
number of free scholars in each class. A commis- 

50 



sion of lo per cent, is charged for all sales of articles 
by the society. 

COURTS OF BALTIMORE. 

The courts of Baltimore are included in the eighth 
Judicial Circuit of the State of Maryland. The Su- 
preme Bench is composed of a chief judge and five 
associates, elected for fifteen years. These judges 
preside over the following courts: Superior Court, 
Court of Common Pleas, Baltimore City Court, Cir- 
cuit Court, Circuit Court No. 2, Criminal Court, and 
Orphans' Court. The terms of the equity courts are 
the second Monday in January, March, May, July, 
September and November. The Criminal Court is 
open all the year. The other courts meet in Janu- 
ary, May and September. The courthouses are situ- 
ated on the block bounded by Calvert, St. Paul and 
Lexington streets and Courthouse lane. Circuit 
Court No. 2 occupies a small building, erected for 
its special accommodation, on the south side of the 
lane. The original courthouse stands on the south- 
west corner of Lexington and Calvert streets, oppo- 
site the Postoffice. It was erected in 1809, but has 
been remodeled and subjected to many changes. 
On the ground floor are the offices of the Sheriff 
and the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas. 
Above this floor are the Superior Court, the Court 
of Common Pleas and the library of the Bar Asso- 
ciation. On the corner of St. Paul and Lexington 
streets, only a few paces away, is the Record Office, 
which contains also the Orphans' Court and the 
office of the Clerk of the Superior Court. The third

building, which was originally a Masonic hall, is on 
the St. Paul street side. It is occupied by the Cir- 
cuit Court, Baltimore City Court and the Clerk of 
the City Court. 

PENAL INSTITUTIONS, 

BALTIMORE JAIL.— This, the principal penal 
institution of the city, occupies six and a half acres 
of ground on Madison street and Jones Falls. It 
is built entirely of brick, stone and iron, and is sur- 
rounded by a stone wall eleven feet high. There 
are five tiers, containing about 300 cells, each 8x11 
feet in size. Each cell is furnished with an iron cot, 
a table, chair, etc. 

MARYLAND PENITENTIARY.— This insti- 
tution was first opened in 181 1. It occupies a series 
of massive buildings on Madison street adjacent to 
the jail. It is designed for reformatory purposes 
and its inmates are kept employed at manual labor. 
Prior to 1850 the prison management conducted its 
affairs on their own account, but at about that time 
they saw that the institution could no longer con- 
tinue successfully in independent manufacture; 
therefore they disposed of the labor of its inmates 
1jy contract to outside manufacturers. Within a few 
years the institution became self-sustaining, and has 
so continued up to the present time. 

HOUSE OF CORRECTION.— This is a State 
institution located near Jessups' Cut on the B. & O. 
R. R., sixteen miles from the city. It receives 
tramps, vagrants and petty offenders from the lower 
courts of Baltimore and elsewhere. The inmates 

63 





.-■v// ,,,„.- ^^ 




are employed mainly on a large farm surroniiding 
the prison. It is open for inspection at all times. 

CITY ALMSHOUSE, or BAY VIEW ASY- 
LUM. — This occupies a series of buildings located 
on an extensive farm on the Eastern avenue road. 
Seven trustees, appointed by the Mayor, for two 
years, administer the afifairs of the institution. Any 
sick or indigent person who has been a resident of 
Baltimore for six months can secure admission to 
the Asylum. Vagrants and tramps are committed 
here by the Criminal Court and by justices of the 
peace. The city appropriates annually about $ioo,- 
ooo towards its support. The City Insane Asylum 
forms a part of Bay View Asylum. The city also 
sends insane patients to the Maryland Hospital for 
the Insane and to Mount Hope Retreat. 

Minors in general are committed to the Home 
of the Friendless or to the Henry Watson Child- 
ren's Aid Society. Male minors and incorrigibles 
are sent to the House of Refuge and to St. Mary's 
Industrial School; females to the House of the Good 
Shepherd and to the Female House of Refuge. Col- 
ored children are sent to the House of Reformation 
for Colored Boys, at Cheltenham, and to the Indus- 
trial Home for Colored Girls, at Melvale, respect- 
ively. 

POSTOFFICE. 

The Baltimore Postofifice is one of the finest Fed- 
eral buildings in the United States. It occupies the 
greater part of the block bounded by Lexington, 
Fayette, Calvert and North streets. It cost $2,000,- 
000. Its construction was begun in 1881, the cor- 

55 



ner-stone was laid in 1882, and the structure was 
formally dedicated in 1890. It stands on the site of 
what was once a sandhill, through which Fayette 
street was originally located. The shape of the 
building is a hollow parallelogram. It is built of 
Maine granite on massive foundations, and is four 
stories high. The basement is used for storage pur- 
poses. On the first or street floor are the general 
distributing quarters, lock boxes, registered letter, 
money order and stamp department, the offices of 
the superintendent of carriers, assistant postmaster, 
superintendent of city division, assistant custodian, 
superintendent of mails, pouching room and in- 
quiry department. On the second floor are the 
apartments of the postmaster, cashier, lighthouse 
engineer, inspector, collector, deputy collector, 
cashier and bonded clerk of the Internal Revenue 
Department, U. S. ganger and local inspector of 
steam vessels. The third floor contains the quarters 
of the local Federal courts and of their offices. 

The general delivery of the postoffice is open day 
and night during the week and from 8.30 to 10 A. 
M. on Sunday. The stamp windows are open from 
7 A. M. to 10 P. M. Money order and registry de- 
partment, from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M. The mailing 
department is open at all hours. Branch postoffices 
or sub-stations are located in various parts of the 
city wherever convenience may suggest. 

CUSTOM HOUSE. 

This building, quaint in appearance but of consid- 
erable architectural interest, is situated on the north- 

56 



east corner of Gay and Lombard streets. No regu- 
lar custom house was established in Baltimore until 
1786. Duties prior to that time were collected at 
Joppa and Annapolis. 

The present custom house is inadequate to meet 
the demands of the constantly increasing business 
of Baltimore, and sooner or later it will be super- 
seded by a more commodious structure. 

The various offices of the department are located 
on the first floor, while above are the quarters of the 
Navy Paymaster, Emigration Department, Special 
Examiner of Pensions, Sub-Treasury and other 
Federal officers. 

UNITED STATES COURTS. 

The United States- courts are held on the third 
floor of the postoffice building. The State of Mary- 
land is a part of the Fourth Judicial Circuit, which 
also embraces Virginia, West Virginia, North Caro- 
lina and South Carolina. The U. S. Circuit Court 
meets first Monday in April and November; the U. 
S. District Court, the first Tuesday in March, June, 
September and December. 

The Federal courts formerly occupied a building 
adjacent to the postoffice building, at the corner of 
North and Fayette streets. 

WEATHER BUREAU. 

This important branch of the national service oc- 
cupies quarters in the physical laboratory of the 
Johns Hopkins University, on Monument street and 
Linden avenue. It was organized in 1891 under the 

57 



\ 





joint auspices of the Johns Hopkins University, the 
Maryland Agricultural College and the United 
States Weather Bureau. The roof of the building 
is used for the exposure of instruments. Sub-sta- 
tions are located in all parts of Maryland and also in 
Delaware; these send reports regularly to the Balti- 
more Bureau. 

CHURCHES. 

Baltimore contains upwards of 375 churches, rep- 
resenting every variety of denominations. The 
Methodist Episcopal Church leads, with more than 
70 places of worship. This does not include other 
divisions of Methodism, which number 45. There 
are 45 Roman Catholic churches, 38 Protestant 
Episcopal, 30 Evangelical Lutheran, 29 Baptist, 29 
Presbyterian, 16 Hebrew, 10 Reformed, 3 United 
Brethren, 6 Evangelical, 3 each of Christian and 
Congregational, 4 Quaker, 2 Swedenborgian, i Uni- 
tarian and I Universalist church. There are also 
two independent churches, and one or more gospel 
tents and Salvation Army barracks. 

The space at our disposal permits only a brief 
reference to a few of the leading churches in the city. 

METHODIST EPISCOPAL.— The first church 
of this denomination in the United States was or- 
ganized in Baltimore, and its churches to-day are 
among the largest, handsomest and most influential 
in the city. 

The First Methodist Episcopal Church is a mag- 
nificent structure on the corner of St. Paul and 
Third streets. Its first meeting-house was erected 
in 1774; its present home (which is its fifth) was

1806 and the building was completed in 182 1. It is 
simple in design but imposing in appearance. Its 
dome is one of the largest in America, being over 
225 feet in circumference at its base, and rising to a 
height of about 150 feet. Two fine paintings are to 
be seen here, to wit, " The Descent from the Cross,"'

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS. 

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIA- 
TION. — The first building for association purposes 
in this country was erected in Baltimore in 1859. 
The Baltimore association was organized some time 
earlier. It is now one of the largest and most sub- 
stantial associations in the United States. Its mem- 
bership is about 3,500, and it has accumulated prop- 
erty in Baltimore valued at more than $300,000. 

The present home of the organization is a mag- 
nificent five-story building on the corner of Charles 

66 



and Saratoga streets. While it is not a modern 
building in every respect, it is well suited to the 
purpose for which it was constructed. Its offices 
and reception parlors are on the first floor, also the 
administration offices, reception parlors, etc. Above 
this is the educational department, with class-rooms 
for instruction in German, bookkeeping, stenogra- 
phy, drawing, typewriting, writing, etc. The gym- 
nasium is on the top floor. In addition to the 
foregoing institution, there are six sub-associations 
devoted to the same work as that of the parent insti- 
tution. They are the German Branch, on East Bal- 
timore street, near Aisquith; the B. & O. R. R. 
Branch, at Riverside; the Johns Hopkins Y. M. C. 
A.; the Penna. Railroad Branch; the West Branch, 
and the East Branch. 

YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCI- 
ATION. — This organization occupies a plain build- 
ing on the corner of Barnet and Liberty streets. 
The association began its work in 1883. A home 
is provided in the building for working-women and 
also for those seeking employment. Typewriting, 
stenography, bookkeeping, etc., are taught and an 
employment agency is maintained. 

WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE

67. 



rooms are on the first floor. On the second floor 
there is a large lecture and concert hall, while a well- 
equipped gymnasium occupies the third or top 
floor. The association is large and accomplishes 
much good work ia the community. 

CEMETERIES. 

GREENMOUNT is Baltimore's largest and most 
interesting cemetery. It contains the remains of 
many persons who have been prominent in the city 
during the last half century. Among these are the 
parents and many of the relations of the late Edwin 
Booth. The monument of McDonogh, the phi- 
lanthropist, may be seen here. A flat granite slab, 
bearing a simple inscription, marks the last resting- 
place of the late Johns Hopkins. About 35,000 
bodies are buried in this cemetery. 

LOUDON PARK, a cemetery noted for its beau- 
tiful trees and gardening, is situated on the Freder- 
ick turnpike. Many Union and Confederate graves 
are to be seen here. 

LORRAINE CEMETERY, on Franklin road; 
FELL'S POINT HEBREW CEMETERY, on the 
Philadelphia road; MOUNT CARMEL, on the 
O'Donnell road; BALTIMORE CEMETERY, on 
the Belair road; MOUNT OLIVET CEMETERY, 
on the Frederick road, and BONNIE BRAE CEM- 
ETERY, on the Old Frederick road, are large 
places of burial. 

RAILROADS. 

In addition to her magnificent harbor, in which 
ships from all parts of the world may be seen, Balti- 

68 



more enjoys the benefits of five broad-gauge rail- 
roads and one narrow-gauge railroad. 

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD.-^ 
This road extends to Philadelphia on the east, 
whence by advantageous arrangements its trains run 
through to New York city without change. It also 
penetrates the vast regions of the West, Southwest 
and Northwest, through the States of Maryland, 
Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indi- 
ana and Illinois to the Mississippi river, with excel- 
lent connections beyond. The tide-water terminals 
of the road are at Locust Point, and cover a front- 
age of about one thousand feet. There freight can be 
transferred to or from ocean steamers and other craft 
with the utmost economy and facility. Three grain 
elevators, with a combined capacity of nearly 4,000,- 
000 bushels, are located there. This road has re- 
cently completed an immense tunnel beneath How- 
ard street to facilitate the passage of its trains 
through the city. 

NORTHERN CENTRAL RAILROAD.— The 
road connects Baltimore with the great Pennsylvania 
system, thus securing a direct outlet to the North. 
Trains run through to New York city via Phila- 
delphia without change; also to Washington city. 
It penetrates the rich agricultural sections of Penn- 
sylvania and southwestern New York up to the 
Great Lakes, and in doing so it also taps the great 
iron and coal fields of the country through which it 
passes. Its marine terminals are on the Canton side 
of the river, where it has great piers, two elevators, 
with a combined capacity of 2,500,000 bushels, and 
extensive facilities for handling ocean freight. The 

69 



BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC, extending to 
Washington, and the PHILADELPHIA, WIL^ 
MINGTON AND BALTIMORE to Philadelphia 
and the East, are the associated branches of the 
Pennsylvania system. 

THE WESTERN MARYLAND is a local road, 
extending in one direction through the beautiful val- 
ley of the Shenandoah into the wood, cattle and 
mineral regions of the South; in another, through 
Gettysburg into the rich Cumberland valley sec- 
tion of Pennsylvania. 

THE BALTIMORE AND LEHIGH is a nar- 
row-gauge road intended for local business between 
Baltimore and Harford counties and a small section 
of southern Pennsylvania. 

WATER TRANSPORTATION. 

As before stated, Baltimore has one of the finest 
harbors in the world, with a natural water-front of 
twelve miles. It afifords a perfect shelter to craft of 
all kinds, there being no unusual ebb and flow of 
tide. The channel of the Patapsco river was origi- 
nally shallow and narrow, but through the combined 
efiforts of municipal and Federal authorities it has 
been cleared to a width of 200 yards and to a depth 
of 27 feet in the lower harbor, 24 feet in the middle 
and from 17 to 19 feet in the upper part or basin. 
Port charges and other expenses incident to ship- 
ping are notoriously less here than in any other city 
on the Atlantic seaboard. 

Passenger steamships run regularly between Bal- 
timore and many foreign ports.

pendent Order of B'nai B'rith, etc. 

MONUMENTS. 

Baltimore has long been referred to as the " Mon- 
umental City " and the " City of Monuments." It 
gained this distinction mainly from having been the 
first to erect a substantial monument to the memory 
of George Washington. 

79 



WASHINGTON MONUMENT.— This is a 
graceful Doric column situated at the intersection of 
Mount Vernon Place and N. Charles street. Its 
base is 50 feet square and 24 feet high. The column 
itself is 164 feet high. The shaft is surmounted by 
a striking figure of Washington sixteen feet high 
and weighing sixteen and a half tons. Site, mate- 
rial and statue were given by citizens of Baltimore; 
the balance of the funds was secured by means of a 
lottery, authorized by the State Legislature. The 
corner-stone was laid in 181 5 and the monument was 
completed in 1829. A magnificent view of the city 
may be obtained by ascending to the top of the mon- 
ument by way of a spiral stairway leading up 
through its interior. A small admission is charged. 

COLUMBUS MONUMENT, No. i.— This, the 
oldest monument of any note in Baltimore, was 
erected to Christopher Columbus in 1792. It stands 
on the grounds of the Samuel Ready Orphan Asy- 
lum, between North avenue and the Harford road. 
It was erected by Chevalier d'Anmour, the first 
French consul in Maryland. For half a century this 
was the only monument in the United States to Co- 
lumbus. It is an obelisk, about 45 feet high, and 
constructed of stuccoed brick. It bears the inscrip- 
tion : " Sacred to the memory of Chris. Columbus, 
Octob. XII, MDCCXCII." ' 

COLUMBUS MONUMENT, No. 2.— This mon- 
ument, presented by the Italian residents of the city, 
was unveiled in Druid Hill Park in 1892. With its 
pedestal it is 18 feet high. The statue proper is 
six and a half feet high. On the pedestal is seen 

80 



this inscription: "To Cristoforo Colombo. The 
ItaHans of Baltimore, 1892." 

BATTLE MONUMENT.— This stands in Mon- 
ument Square, opposite the Postoffice, and near the 
Courthouse. It was built by private subscriptions 
(aided materially by city appropriations), in memory 
of Baltimoreans who fell fighting at the battle of 
North Point. The corner-stone was laid in 181 5 
and the monument completed in 1825. On one side 
is a bas-relief representing the battle of North Point 
and death of General Ross, while the bombardment 
of Fort McHenry is shown on the other. There is 
also an entablature bearing the names of those who 
fell in battle. The top of the monument rises 52 
feet above the platform on which the structure rests. 
NORTH POINT MONUMENT.— This is a 
small shaft which marks the battlefield of North 
Point, seven miles from the city. 

ARMISTEAD MONUMENT.— This is a marble 
block standing in Federal Hill Park. It was erected 
to the memory of Lieut.-Col. George Armistead, 
U. S. A., who was in command of the American 
forces at Fort McHenry during the British bom- 
bardment in 1814. 

WELLS-McCOMAS MONUMENT.— This is a 
plain marble shaft rising to a height of 33 feet, 
erected in 1873 to the memory of two young rifle- 
men, Daniel Wells and Henry G. McComas, who 
distinguished themselves at the battle of North 
Point. 

POE MONUMENT.— This is a plain but mas- 
sive tomb of white marble, erected by the Public 
School Teachers' Association of Baltimore, aided by 

81 



Dr. Baird of this city, and the late Geo. W. Childs, 
of Philadelphia, to the memory of Edgar Allan Poe. 
It is in the churchyard of the Westminster Presby- 
terian Church, corner of Greene and Fayette streets, 
where rest the remains of the famous poet. 

WILDEY MONUMENT. — This monument, 
situated on Broadway, near Fairmount avenue, was 
erected in 1865 to the memory of Thomas Wildey, 
the founder of American Odd Fellowship. The site 
was given by the city and the funds were contributed 
by lodges in all sections of the country. The monu- 
ment is 52 feet high. 

RIDGELY MONUMENT. — This stands in 
Harlem Park, and was erected to the memory of 
James L. Ridgely, a prominent member of the 
Order of Odd Fellows. 

MISCELLANEOUS.— Other monuments and 
their locations must be briefly described. They are: 
The Wallace Statue, in Druid Hill Park, presented 
to the city by Mr. Wm. Wallace Spence; the Wash- 
ington Statue, near the main entrance to Druid Hill 
Park, presented to the city by the heirs of the late 
Mr. Noah Walker; a fine bronze figure of Chief 
Justice Taney, in Washington Place, presented to 
the city by Mr. Wm. T. Walters; a marble statue of 
John McDonogh, in Greenmount Cemetery. In 
this same cemetery are memorials erected by the 
citizens of Baltimore to Wm. Boyd Smith, who lost 
his life while nursing the sick during the yellow 
fever epidemic in 1855; to Wm. P. Smith, a univer- 
sally beloved philanthropist, and to Wm. R. Creery, 
for years superintendent of the public schools of the 
city. A bronze statue of George Peabody, philan- 

82 




RIDGELY MONUMENT— HARLEM PARK. 



thropist and humanitarian, presented to the city by- 
Mr. Robt. Garrett, stands on Mt. Vernon Place. 
The statue of a Confederate Cavalryman, erected to 
the memory of Marylanders who lost their lives for 
the Confederacy, stands within the enclosure where 
Confederate soldiers are buried, in Loudon Park 
Cemetery. Nearby are monuments erected to Gen. 
Jas. R. Herbert and Gen. Harry Gilmor, distin- 
guished Maryland Confederate generals; also a me- 
morial erected by the Murray Association to the 
fallen of that command. At the north end of Bon- 
nie Brae there is a memorial to Capt. John Gleeson, 
a member of the 5th Maryland Federal Regiment. 

PARKS AND SQUARES. 

Baltimore is liberally blessed in the matter of 
" breathing space " in the numerous parks and 
squares which are scattered throughout the city and 
its suburbs. There are also many large yards at- 
tached to public and private buildings that con- 
tribute greatly to the city's breathing space. 

DRUID HILL PARK.— While this is not the 
largest park in this country, it is certainly one of the 
most beautiful. It covers an area of about 700 
acres. A large part of this territory was included in 
the Druid Hill estate, which was purchased by the 
city in 1868. The park has four entrances, — a main 
entrance on Madison avenue, the Mount Royal en- 
trance, facing Oliver street, the Eutaw entrance, and 
the Druid Hill avenue entrance. Druid Hill lake is 
to the right of the main entrance, with a driveway of 
a mile and a half. Natural springs abound; there 
are reservoirs, a boating and skating lake and a fish

pond. There are also many groves, fitted with shel- 
ters and playgrounds, which are used as picnic 
grounds; also baseball, lacrosse and lawn-tennis 
grounds. There are two buildings in the interior of 
the park, — the Maryland building, used at the Cen- 
tennial of 1876, and the Mansion House, provided 
with dining and lunch-rooms, broad verandas and 
other conveniences usually found in similar places. 
A small zoological collection may be seen nearby. 
There are many miles of carriage drives running in 
various directions. The park is under the control 
of a Board of Park Commissioners, consisting of six 
citizens and the Mayor, ex officio. It is supported 
by a tax of nine per cent, of the gross receipts of the 
street car companies. The park may be reached by 
the Pennsylvania avenue and Reisterstown street 
cars, by the Madison avenue and Gilmor street cars, 
and by the Northern Central Railway from Calvert 
or Union Depots in the city, to Woodberry station. 
PATTERSON PARK.— This is the favorite holi- 
day resort for the eastern part of the city. A mag- 
nificent view of the city may be enjoyed from 
this point. A carriage-way extends entirely around 
the park, affording the visitor an excellent view o! 
its points of interest. The main entrance is on Pat- 
terson Park avenue. Near the entrance are many 
evidences of the gardener's skill in the form of sym- 
metrical beds of flowers and vari-colored plants. 
Inside the park may be seen the original earthworks 
thrown up in 1814 by citizen volunteers when the 
British threatened to attack the city. The park is 
reached by the cable cars of the Traction line, which 
connect it with Druid Hill Park, 5 miles beyond. 



FEDERAL HILL PARK.— The larger part of 
this park is formed by an elevated plateau rising 85 
feet above tidewater. The Marine Observatory is 
located here. A fine view of the city and harbor 
may be had from the highest parts of the park. The 
park is comparatively new, the city having acquired 
the land as late as 1878. It is located in south Bal- 
timore, and is reached by the Blue line and by the 
Paca street cars. 

RIVERSIDE PARK.— This is a small park, con- 
taining about seventeen acres, situated directly south 
of Federal Hill Park, and reached via the Paca street 
cars. It overlooks the Patapsco river, Ft. McHenry, 
Locust Point and the bay to North Point. It con- 
tains the remains of Ft. Covington, whose guns sunk 
the barges of the British fleet which were attempting 
to land a force for a night attack on Fort McHenry 
in 1814. 

HARLEM PARK, embracing an area of ten 
acres, is located in a residence section of northwest 
Baltimore. 

PUBLIC SQUARES. 

Eutaw Place is the most beautiful residence sec- 
tion of the city. It contains a series of squares 
artistically laid out in lawn and flower beds. Here 
and there are splashing fountains or moss-grown 
rockeries to relieve the monotony that might other- 
wise exist. Near by are Taney Place and Park 
Place squares. Johnson Square is bounded by 
Biddle, Valley, Chase and McKim streets. Wash- 
ington and Mt. Vernon Squares are in the heart of 
the most conservative residence section of the city. 



o 




Perkins' Spring Square is a triangular plot of 
ground bounded by Myrtle avenue, George street 
and Clinton avenue. Lafayette Square, faced by 
four churches, is bounded by Lafayette, Arlington 
and Carrollton avenues and Lanvale street. Frank- 
lin Square is bounded by Lexington, Carey, Fay- 
ette and Calhoun streets. Fulton Avenue is a series 
of open squares extending from Franklin street to 
Baker Circle. Jackson Square is east of Broadway, 
between Fayette street and Fairmount avenue. 
Madison Square, running fountain, is bounded by 
Chase, Caroline, Eager and Eden streets. Ashland 
Square is at the intersection of Monument, Gay and 
Aisquith streets. Broadway Squares, on Broadway, 
extend from Baltimore street to North avenue. 

PROMINENT BUILDINGS. 

The prominent buildings of Baltimore are con- 
structed with a view to solidity and convenience 
rather than for showy display. There has been a 
noticeable increase in the number of large buildings 
erected in the business sections of the city within the 
past few years. 

EQUITABLE BUILDING.— This is one of the 
handsomest and most thoroughly constructed build- 
ings in the United States. It stands on the south- 
west corner of Fayette and Calvert streets. It is 
built of granite and Pompeiian brick, is ten stories 
high and contains about 150 rooms. 

LAW BUILDING.— This, one of the finest ofHce 
buildings in Baltimore, stands on the corner of St. 
Paul and Lexington streets. Its first two stories 

90 



are of granite, the remaining four are of Baltimore 
cream-colored pressed brick. The building is used 
mainly for offices. A restaurant is located in the 
building for the convenience of tenants. 

HOTEL STAFFORD.— One of the most con- 
spicuous buildings in Baltimore is the Hotel Staf- 
ford, situated on the west side of Washington Place, 
near Madison street. It is ten stories, built of 
brownstone as high as the third story, while the re- 
maining stories are of brick. The building is sup- 
posed to be thoroughly fire-proof. 

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD 
BUILDING. — This is situated on the corner of 
Baltimore and Calvert streets. The central office is 
an imposing structure seven stories in height. It is 
built of pressed brick, trimmed with carved granite 
and bluestone. On the first floor are the ticket, 
telegraph and express offices. The offices of the 
president, vice-presidents and assistants are on the 
second floor. Other offices of the various official 
departments of the corporation are on the floors 
above. 

Among other prominent buildings of Baltimore 
may be mentioned that of the Eutaw Savings Bank, 
corner of Eutaw and Fayette streets; of the Central 
Savings Bank, corner Lexington and Charles streets :

bard and South streets ; of the Mercantile Trust, cor- 
ner Calvert and German streets. Also the Scharf 
Building, a magnificent six-story warehouse, corner 
Paca and Baltimore streets; the Telephone Building, 
corner St. Paul street and Bank lane; the Fidelity 
Building, corner Charles and Lexington streets; 

91 



Manufacturers' Record Building, corner Lexington 
and North streets, and the Law Record Building, 
corner St. Paul and Fayette streets. 

MARKETS. 

The market-houses form an attractive and some- 
what picturesque feature of Baltimore, and the visi- 
tor may spend much time both pleasantly and profit- 
ably in inspecting them. There are eleven of these 
markets, and they are conveniently located in va- 
rious sections of the city. The oldest market-house 
in the city is on the corner of Baltimore street and 
Marsh Market Space. It was constructed in 1763 
and is still one of the largest and most popular mar- 
kets in the city. The markets are: Belair, on For- 
rest, from Hillen to Orleans streets; Canton, on 
O'Donnell, from Potomac to Patuxent street; 
Centre, west of Jones Falls, from Baltimore to 
Pratt street; Cross Street, between Cross and West, 
and extending from Light to Charles street; Fell's 
Point, Broadway, from Canton to Thames street; 
Hanover, Hanover and Camden streets; Hollins, 
Hollins, south of Baltimore street; Lafayette, Cooke, 
east from Pennsylvania to Fremont avenue; Lex- 
ington, Lexington, from Eutaw to Pearl street; 
Northeastern, Chester, from Monument to McEl- 
derry street; Richmond, Howard, from Armory 
Place to Biddle street. The market-house or place 
consists of a series of roofed structures, with stalls 
and booths. Every article for the culinary depart- 
ment of the household is exposed for sale in these 
markets, and thither the matrons of Baltimore still 

92 



think it their duty to go for the purpose of selecting 
such dehcacies and substantials as are needed to 
supply the family table. 

MILITARY. 

Since the close of the Revolutionary War there has 
been a strong military spirit in Baltimore, and a 
large force of Baltimore volunteers took an active 
part in the war of 1812. From the latter period up 
to the time of the organization of the Maryland 
National Guard in 1886 there were many flourishing 
military organizations here. The Fifth Regiment 
is Baltimore's '' crack military organization." It was 
organized in 1867. Its armory is on north Howard 
street. It consists of 12 companies of 60 men each, 
and has a splendid band, consisting of 75 musicians. 

The F'ourth Regiment was organized in 1885 un- 
der the name of the Baltimore Light Infantry. It 
was organized under its present name in 1892. It 
consists of 9 companies of 60 men each, or a total 
(including officers) of 600 men. 

The Baltimore City Rifles and the Monumental 
City Guards are composed of colored men. 

THEATRES. 

Among the names connected with the history of 
the theatrical profession and of the theatres of Balti- 
more may be mentioned the Booths, the Clarkes and 
the Jeffersons; also the Batemans, the Polks, Jor- 
dans. Bishop and many others. Stuart Robson is a 
Baltimorean, and his late partner, Crane, is a native 
of Maryland. 

93 



The Holliday Street Theatre, situated on HolHday 
street near Lexington, enjoys the cHstinction of be- 
ing, the oldest theatre in the city. It occupies the 
identical spot on which a theatre was first built in 
1794. The mother of Edgar Allan Poe was one of 
the first players to appear here. Forrest played 
Macbeth here in 1848. Charles Dickens lectured in 
this house during his American travels. 

The Front Street Theatre, on Front street, near 
Gay, was erected in 1829. John E. Owens, Edwin 
Booth, Fanny Ellsler, Jenny Lind and many other 
prominent stars have played here. 

The other theatres in Baltimore are: Albaugh's 
Lyceum, Charles street, near Biddle; Ford's Grand 
Opera House, Fayette street, near Eutaw; Harris' 
Academy of Music, Howard street, near Franklin; 
Howard Auditorium, Howard street, near Franklin; 
Kernan's Monumental, Baltimore street, near Front; 
and the Music Hall, Mt. Royal and Maryland aves. 

JOHNSON MANSION. 

No house in Baltimore is so rich in historic in- 
terest as the stately old Reverdy Johnson mansion, 
situated on the northwest corner of Fayette and 
Calvert streets. It is a three-story red-brick house, 
and was once the home of one of Maryland's most 
gifted sons. The house was built in 1818, and at 
that time its location was in the most fashionable 
section of the city. It was the scene of mob vio- 
lence in 1835, at which time dissatisfied depositors 
in a suspended bank, of which Reverdy Johnson was 
an ofBcer, burned the contents of the house in the 
street during the absence of the owner and his 

94 



family. The State made due restitution a little while 
later. William Henry Harrison, Henry Clay and 
many other famous politicians have made addresses 
from the top of the marble steps of this mansion 
and enjoyed the hospitality of its owner. 

STREET RAILWAYS. 

Taken as a whole, Baltimore certainly has one of 
the most complete systems of street railways in the 
United States. The visitor who studies the map of 
the city and at the same time the routes and trans- 
fer points will experience no difficulty in reaching 
any desired point at very small cost.

"Remarks on 

''(^©mpeund ^alcum ^ah^ Jfetuderf." 

The Hygienic Dermal Powder for Infants and Adults. 

TALCUM, the Silicate of Magnesia (4 MgO. 5 Si02 plus M HO.), although known in 
olden times, as far back as 2,300 yeai-s ago, when that immortal Greek scientist and 
naturalist, Theophrastus (370-286 b, c), in his venerable Avork on " Stones," des- 
cribed it, was, up to the present day, entirely overlooked by therapeutists and never 
used by dermatologists. Strange to say ! Only in the year 1868, it was the good fortune 
of the writer to be induced by peculiar circumstances to make researches in the phar- 
maceutic realm for a dermal application which might be acceptable to the medical 
profession in the treatment and prevention of skin affections. In these reseai'ches 
Talcum was also experimented with, which proved to be the very substance looked for. 
Further investigations showed that, with the addition of carbolic acid, a preparation 
was produced most efficacious in preventing erythema intertrigo and in curing the same 
in very severe cases. 

Besides, the "Compound Talcum" is indicated in cases of minor Exanthemata, viz., 
urticaria, roseola. In Papuhe, viz., lichen simplex, lichen tropicus, strophulus, etc. In 
Vesicuhe. Aiz., eczema, herpes, crusta lactae. In Pustulie, viz., ecthyma, impetigo. 
And, further, in Dermatopathia of parasitic origin, viz., scabies, favus, sycosis, tineade- 
calvans, tinea circinata, chloasma versicolor. And, lastlj% in the treatment of Exanthe 
mata Majores and zymotic diseases. 

Refraining from producing any testimonials, the writer deems every physician per- 
fectlj- able to judge for himself of the therapeutic value of the Compound Talcum. 

Respectfully, JULIUS FEHR, M. D.,

" I have come to regard Creasote as the most valuable medicinal agent we have' at 
the present time for the treatment of tuberculosis."— Beverly Robinson, M. D. 

MISTURA CREASOTI COMP. 

(HANCOCK.) 

Mistura Creasoti Comp. is a richly nutritious and stimulating Glyconin 
Emulsion of Beechwood Creasote, C. P. and Etherized Cod Liver Oil. The 
emulsification with Glyconin, an intimate compound of Yolk of Egg and 
Glycerin materially enhances the nutritive and demulcent properties of the 
preparation and reduces the liability of disturbing digestion. The emulsion 
is not thick and viscid but of the consistency of a rich cream, and will keep 
in any climate without becoming rancid. 

Indicated in all forms of Phthisis and kindred wasting diseases, and is 
especially serviceable in Chronic Bronchitis and other catarrhal conditions 
of the air passages.

We Solicit the Attention of Physicians for our 

As being the only preparation of COCA which is of 

UNIFORM STRENGTH. 

The unsatisfactory results consequent u^ on the administration of many 
different makes of this remedy, due principally to variation in the alkaloidal 
strength of the crude arug used in their manufacture, is entirely overcome 
in our preparation, which is made from specially-selected leaves, 

ASSAYED AND STANDARDIZED, 

Enabling the jDhysician to regulate the dose to meet the requirements of 
each particular case. Those who have prescribed it assure us that it is 

THE ONLY PREPARATION 

That can be taken for an indefinite length of time, without unpleasant 
effect, by persons with weak or rebellious stomachs. Our 

WINE OF COCA, BEEF AND IRON 

is also highly commended as a valuable tonic for 

OVERWORKED MEN AND DELICATE WOMEN, 

And has been successfully administered in cases of nausea consequent upon 
pregnancy, where other remedies have failed. 

[[l^^Liberal Samples will be supplied physicians upon application.

The Painless Laxative and 
Superior Nerve Tonic. 



Every fluid drachm of Melachol contains eighty-five grains of the CDra- 
bined Sodium Phosphate, Citric Acid and Sodium Nitrate by our process. In 
Materia Medica there is nothing superior to Sodium Phosphate as a corrective 
of deficient or perverted secretion. Melachol is, therefore, advantageously 
administered in the treatment of any malady in which the secretory function 
IS INVOLVED ; and in chronic cases it is almost magical in its effects ; Chronic 
Malaria, Chronic Headaches ; Chronic Dyspepsia ; Catarrhal Disturbances 
of the bile duct ; Chronic Uterine Diseases, &c., &c., all are given an impetus 
toward health, which is easily kept up by suitable attention to diet and exercise. 

For Irritable Nerves ; for cases of Melancholia, or for the faulty development 
of bones or teeth, there is no other remedy as good as Melachol.
